Team News

Hamburg
Schalke
  • Hamburg will start the 2023/34 season without six first-team players, including key men Ludovit Reis and Miro Muheim.
  • Tim Walter could name four new signings in the back four with a host of young talents joining the Hamburg ranks for the new campaign, including Salzburg loanee Ignace Van der Brempt.
  • The midfield and attack will look much more familiar, but a debut is on the cards for former Eintracht Braunschweig midfielder Immanuel Pherai.
  • Ralf Fährmann and Marius Muller will battle it out for the number one jersey this season with the more experienced man the most likely to get the nod on the opening day.
  • Thomas Reis will be without Justin Heekeren, Leo Greiml and Florian Flick for the trip to the Volksparkstadion.

Prediction

  • Hamburg manager Tim Walter will head into the 2023/24 season knowing that it is promotion or bust for him and his side. The hosts missed out on promotion once again last season, losing comprehensively in the playoff following a gruelling title battle with Heidenheim and Darmstadt.
  • Schalke's return to the top flight of German football proved to be a short-lived one with Friday's visitors suffering relegation on the final day of the season following a 4-2 defeat to RB Leipzig. With captain Simon Terodde staying on another year, the away side will hope to secure a rapid return to the Bundesliga this season.
